Getting rid of "Administration" menu in K Menu

Hi,

I'm running RedHat EL 5 (I know, I know) and there's an "Administration"
menu under the K Menu which I cannot seem to be able to get rid of (not
running as root, although I cannot find the string "Administration" anywhere
within the account). Anyway, where is this menu coming from and how can I
get rid of it? Any help is greatly appreciated!

/usr/share/app*

Run Desktop/Panel and remove it with the "Edit K Menu" (this is user specific
setting).

Thank you for your help. I see the programs which are under the
"Administration" menu in /usr/share, for example,

/usr/share/applications/system-config-boot.desktop

but I don't see the actual "Administration" entry which shows up
in the K Menu. Although I can delete the "Administration" entry
as a user via the "Edit K Menu" (and save it), the "Administration"
menu still shows up in the K Menu (which is strange, because the
K Menu editor does not complain about deleting that entry, and
does not complain about saving the settings, but still it does
nothing). There must be a system-wide file which says that the
"Administration" menu must show up in the K Menu of all user
accounts, but I still can't find it... any ideas?

I haven't followed that one, but in my experience, if you can delete
everything under a heading, the heading doesn't show up. That is using KDE
3.5.7 under Mandriva 2008. I would love to have an Administration menu
there. Everything is under "Tools" beside Multimedia, etc, and isn't
obvious enough.
